CHARLESTON, W. Va, Feb. l4.-When
I telegraphed tho ISrrLLlaRScEn last
Wednesday night that appearances indi-
Gated the early election Of Mr.. Camden by
Republican votes nothing could have been
truer than that report. My information
was based on remarks Of members OF the
Legislature themselves. There are still o
few Republicans whose individual judg.
ment Is that they should elect Camden
rather than allow Governor Wilson to ap-
point Dan Lucas, or rather than allow W.
L. Wilson, John J. Davis or any other
FREQ trader to be sent to the Senate for six
years. The Republican members who feel
this way tell me so frankly, and give rea-
sons for holding this view. There are
enough Of them probably TO secure Mr..
Camden's early election, but 1t seens now
AZ II nothing could bs more improbable
than tho reelection Of Mr.. Camden. Had
the telegram in las. Thursdays INrRLLI.
aEscER not appeared 1t is probable that
Camden would have been elected before
this time. @
Y THE GOOD ACcoMpLlaHgD.
But that publication brought upon Re.
publican members presaure they could
not resist. Telegrsms and letters poured
in upon them from every section Of the
State urging them to ntand firm in their
former course. Protests against voting for
Camden or any other Democrat we're re.
ceived by the acore, many Of them numer.
ously signed by Republicans OF rromi-
nence and standing. One telegram from
Marshall county bore the signatures OF
fifty leading Republicans, Many Of the
Ohio county Republicans who few days
before signed the petition asking Rspub.
hcan members to vote for Camden sent in
protestu against that very course. Letters
are still coming in urging the Republicans
to vote for Republican only till the bit.
tor end and let the Democrats ssttls their
own quarrel. Besides this an oyorwhelm-
ing majority OF the Republican members
arc opposed to any deviation from the
course laid down early in the sessioE. In
the lace Of this how ceu members do
aught but defer to the general sentiment
Of Republicans here ana everywhere? II
Camden is defeated it muat be apparent
that the 1STELLIaEscER's publication
secured or at least assured his defeat. The
talk about Doodle or bribery and the
heated intolerance, and am holier.thsn
thsn.thou racket OF such men ss Morris,
however, is more than childish, besides
being un.Rspublican, and if it has any CT
feet must do harm instead Of good.
The Republicans and Greenbackars will
again vote for Judge Ma1well tomorrow.
When the joint assembly met today
every Senator and 50 OF the 65 members
Of the House answered to their nsmea,
rnsking S5 votes, majority Of which was
43. Mr.. Toler nominated Judge Edwin
Maxwell with complimentary speech.
MR. ToLER's SPEECH.
: Mr.. Toler, better than any other mem-
Der Of either house, always holds the en-
tire attention OF his hearers. He said:
"While in this battle some Of the presses
have gone over, what kin the preas do
with this int assembly? These little
presses kin sell out but they cir gone for
ever. Farewell! They have crossed the
;nerejun and are drownded in tho political
avalanche. They have gone out into some
circus aud turned summerset. But the
Labor advocate and Wes! Virginia Democrat
will be called good and great when tho
press that sold out in the great war OF
lS77-or 1887 I mean. l may get OF lit
tie once in while, but I'll get back again.
III git thar all tho same. 7a
Let's us elect Judge Maxwell, and I
hope when he gifts thar hs'll stay thar and
tend to the business he gifts $4,000 for
tendin to. II he don't we'll never send
him back agin and the people will hail
the glad millennium moro when they
elected @ man United States Sinator whose
intrusts ere our intrusts and who won't be
another O. them millionears.n
This SPEECH was insudible half the time
ior the hearty laughter which it provoked.
